Kid's fast. Not sure how fast, but in the Arsenal match he didn't seem to be much slower than Gibbs, at least in terms of Acc (Gibbs did seem to have an edge regarding sustained speed over distance). I'd say something like mid yellows for both TS and Acc. DS didn't look great though, it seems he doesn't have much confidence when running on the ball, mostly jogs with it. Also displayed good LPS more than once, but LPA was hit and miss.

Herein lies the problem with a compilation video of a defender's touches. It misses all the times he got burned on Everton's right by Deul and Mirallas because he was no-where near the ball He had a decent game overall though.

i actually came here to say how flanagan is possibly the worst fullback i've seen in recent times...he's sluggish, slow to react, weak and doesn't know how to defend, nor how to tackle, it looks like his go-to move on defence is "stick a foot and let's see what happens"...

Well that really didn't look the case at all on Saturday. 9 tackles, 4 interceptions and 3 clearances while out of position, in a derby and with very little game time this season doesn't seem too shabby.

cale could be right about some of his performances, but i do have to say that hes only 20 and the kid has some potential, sometimes is a little awkward to watch a joung boy with almost 0 experience this season playing arsenal at once, but tbh he was not intimidated by any way, i like that in a player

He might not be best technically, but he is hard working, tidy defender who playes with heart....certain Jamie Carragher started his career like that as well... played in fourth match in row as LB today. only one of them was not full 90 minutes and only one of them Liverpool lost, and won in rest thre with big results.
